D&D 4E 4E's announcement left you in what condition? ;)

Dazed, Fatigued, and originally Turned (away from the new edition). Currently Stable.

With regards to WotC listening to my complaints and opinions, Helpless and Invisible.

I also keep trying to make Will: Disbelief checks, but they don't seem to work; the Will Saves against Frightened work on and off.

Actually it was rather funny. There were a bunch of guys in my place renovating the bathroom yesterday when I read the announcment. I blurted out "holy something erics gradma wouldn't like". Managed to embarass myself quite well.
 


Stable. It's not as if I was flatfooted - this has been expected eventually by anyone with eyes. The problem has been, and still is, the parade of doomsayers and whiners.

I've always played the most recent version of D&D just because. Not until quite recently (last several months) have I ever thought seriously about running an older version of D&D again myself, though I've always said I would play in any edition. Although I like what I hear so far there ARE details I want to know before I'm really sold on this. And the release is 9 months away anyway (December for the preview materials).
 



I feel shocked cause it's way too early. I feel angry because they could've done so much more with 3.5E, along with patching whatever people had problems with it. I feel lost, sad and abandoned because I have no more future support for my favorite edition of D&D. And I feel cheated investing in D&D entirely because at the rate it's going now, it's halfway an MMORPG video game and by 5E (which will come out by 2013) will probably make it totally video game and online.

But if there's one emotion to sum it all, it's depression really. Depressed that the soul of D&D is corrupting and it'll never be the way it used to be anymore. Followed by the realization that I need to fight against this and just boycott their products from now on and preach at my local hobby shop to do the same. Sure, it won't stop WotC from destroying D&D, but it'll cause at least a little harm to their customer base.

Amused: it's gonna be fun watching all of the Chicken Littles on various forums screaming about how the world's coming to an end because a new edition is coming out. :)

I'm also excited because what I've read about 4e so far sounds pretty damn cool.

Not exactly. For me, I'll be laughing my ass off at the chumps jumping onto 4E since they'll be working on 5E three years from May 2008 and then releasing 5E two years after that.

One classic word fits all the 4E nuts---Suckers! :p
